Back home in Israel, Joel reflects on the country’s shifting energy — and tackles a tough question: why are so many young North American Jews turning against Israel? He argues the real problem isn’t what we’re teaching, but who’s teaching it, and why the Jewish world needs to invest in passionate educators the way pro sports teams invest in high-level athletes. Plus: listener questions on the death penalty for terrorists, the politics of cost of living, and two must-visit Israel sites for your next trip.
